I'm not currently affected, but In all seriousness is it really so difficult for you guys to turn off javascript?

People were saying all the same stuff about SOPA that they said about DMCA and that didn't affect anybody. Why anybody would conduct business in the USA is a mystery to me. In the meanwhile there is always tunnelr and friends to less restrictive countries. Why doesn't google, wikipedia, etc simply leave the US? If more restrictions keep appearing, they will.

I still have little desire to renew my visa and stay here after I graduate... ridiculous bills like this don't make the place more inviting that's for sure...

Typical bonehead "fire off a cannon to kill a gnat" legislation. Anybody here tried to run for office, and get to a position to actually have some impact on stuff like this? Even helped a campaign of someone clueful? Or is moaning and complaining about it more your speed?

I'd love to run for office. But it's not cheap, and since both halves of the Duopoly are jokes, I'd be independent which is that much tougher. If only we had a decent voting system, that didn't stigmatize independents and third party candidates the way Plurality voting does.
